Thanks. You are right about the 'certificado final' also. This is what happens after the 'certificado final' stage if the works are all found to be in order

settlement and acceptance of the works


Explanation:
It does not necessarily cover the complete payment, since most contracts foresee a guarantee fund of 5 or 10% of the amount owed, to cover possible defects in the works. Normally this can be replaced by a bank guarantee or insurance policy.

Explanation:
